Yes, these are great looking watches . . . as you describe . . . the Siffert color scheme, in a nice-sized watch.

Another observation -- There really are two separate markets for collectors: NOS and everything else. There are many gradients of condition (mint / near mint / excellent) and there are types of restorations (original parts / service parts / etc.), but true NOS is a different item and receives a different valuation.

In April 2011, I wrote this about NOS -- Definitions of “New Old Stock” and “Mint”
